Rust Threat Could Trim Wheat Crop Prospects
U S Department of Agriculture experts monitor central and northern Great Plains weather to gauge rust impact on a potential bumper wheat crop. Reports show western Missouri and parts of Nebraska affected, while timely cool weather may keep rust under control and support an $825 million to $850 million crop. Prices reflect supply and rust outlook, with Texas Oklahoma wheat earning over $1 per bushel. Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas yield figures exceed prior years, while spring wheat harvest nears in late July.
